Join Mara Yamauchi on Team AMREF!
AMREF is very pleased to introduce Mara Yamauchi, our new Running Ambassador.
“Jambo! I am delighted to accept the role of UK Running Ambassador for AMREF. After spending my childhood in Kenya, Africa is very close to my heart. So I am supporting AMREF because its work in improving health in Africa is so important.”
Mara is the second fastest female British marathon runner ever, and was named after the Mara river in Kenya, so she is the perfect person to promote and support AMREF’s running programme.
Mara will be providing preparation tips for all Team AMREF runners and signed goodies will be up for grabs for the top fundraisers in each running event!
Listed below are the exciting events you can take part in in 2012
London Marathon
Run the UK's most popular marathon. Experience the amazing support from thousands of spectators and see London as you've never seen it before.
Brighton Marathon
Now in its third year, the Brighton marathon is a great alternative to London, along a course with panoramic coastal views.
Bupa 10K
Run the 2012 Olympic route past many of London's top landmarks. This is an ideal event for any level of runner.
Running a race is a great personal achievement, but it is also a fantastic way to get involved with AMREF and help us to create lasting health change in Africa. Our dedicated fundraising team will support you every step of the way; we will provide you with training advice as well as fundraising tips.
